Cambridge International Examinations on 10 December announces the winners of the Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards, Bangladesh. The awards celebrate the outstanding academic achievements of secondary school learners in Bangladesh in the November 2014 and June 2015 Cambridge examination series.

Suzy Chowdhury, Schools Development Manager, Bangladesh, said that Cambridge programmes help to develop and assess students’ creativity, critical thinking and problem-solving skills — preparing them to succeed at university.

‘We are delighted that so many learners from across Bangladesh have achieved such great results in their Cambridge exams. As these students step into the next stage of their lives, they can be confident that the qualifications they have gained are accepted by leading universities worldwide. As individuals they are equipped for success in the modern world.’

61 learners from 20 schools celebrate their exceptional performance in Cambridge examinations. This year, 22 Cambridge learners achieved the highest marks in the world in Cambridge International AS, A Level and O Level subjects. In total, 29 learners attained the highest marks in Bangladesh in a single subject. These students excelled in a diverse range of subjects including Maths, Chemistry and Economics.

The awards also celebrate the achievements of those learners who have been recognised for High Achievement based on outstanding performance in subjects which are not yet so widely taken in Bangladesh, and learners who have achieved the total highest cumulative marks across a number of subjects. The winning learners out-performed thousands of candidates worldwide who sat for Cambridge O Level, Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge International AS & A Level examinations.
